Act of Contrition

Mark here... this episode is called "Act of Contrition" and it starts out with the Galactica crew celebrating a pilot's 1000 flight, but an accident on the flight deck lets a missile loose and takes out several pilots.  Thus, they're forced to search the flight for potential Viper pilots.  Adama assigns Starbuck with training the new pilots.  He is not aware that Starbuck passed his deceased son (and Apollo's younger brother) in flight school when he had failed.  So we see that Starbuck works through her guilt in this episode...it's not quite as exciting as last episode although it's interesting to see the relationship between the Adamas and Starbuck.  The episode ends on a cliffhanger.  After Commander Adama learns the truth about his son (Zack)'s death he gets angry at Starbuck and tells her to do her job, reassigning the flight trainees to her.  During training they are attacked by Cylons and Starbuck takes the lead in attack, resulting in her and a Cylon ship being damaged.  She ejects her ship into the atmosphere of a foreign planet...

Laurel here..not much to add, true to form I fell asleep for a few minutes of this episode but Mark filled me in on what I missed.  I'm excited to see what happens next episode tho.
